System gets implemented and you do not gain (enough) ingame currency through playing, so you HAVE to pay real money to keep your bulletins going if you want to have them all the time (lets exclude commanders, because i doubt that commanders would degrade) 2.) System gets implemented and you DO gain enough ingame currency to sustain your bulletins. Case 1 is bad, i guess we all agree on that. Case 2 factually doesn't change anything about the status quo, so relic wouldn't get any money. Which case seems more likely? Option 3: System gets implemented and you get to keep purchased commanders/skins/bulletins forever, or you can use currency earned in game to purchase/upkeep degrading commanders/skins/bulletins. Combined with a whole bunch of cool new stuff. Relic doesn't alienate people that have already purchased stuff by taking it away, and gives a free avenue for players who don't want to pay for stuff to still get it by playing the game. Each of these 3 are equally plausible from what little actual information we have. If you are going to speculate, atleast consider all possible avenues, not just the ones that give you a reason to talk shit about Relic. In: Lobby
Thread: Supply - in-game currency 6 Feb 2015, 20:29 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2015, 19:57 PMIpKaiFung you're right. It doesn't say this in the UCS but last time they did implement a system like that you did have to use real money to keep your items working. There is precedent for this and I really hope they do not go down this road because that game didn't last long for that very reason. That's all most detractors are asking for but I guess I'm just entitled for not wanting a company to repeat mistakes they made in the past. I don't take issue with you stating that you hope it doesn't go down that road and that they don't push a carbon copy of the failed COHO system. (I would be extremely pissed myself if they took away my paid commanders.) What I do take issue with however is bashing Relic over your extrapolated worst case scenario. All I'm looking for is to clarify that you don't have near enough information to make some of the claims you have made, and as a result have made some comments about Relic that are at best disingenuous.

Thread: Supply - in-game currency 6 Feb 2015, 19:40 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2015, 17:57 PMIpKaiFung some extra lines from the .ucs file 11084914 Durability is an indicator of item health. Once the durability of an item reaches zero, that item cannot be reused until it has been repaired. 11084915 Repairing an item adds durability to it at the cost of Supply. Once the durability of an item reaches zero, that item cannot be reused until it has been repaired. 11084916 Salvaging an item converts an item’s durability back into supply. Ahh, forgive me, I missed the line in the ucs that said durability was going to apply to your paid commanders and that you would have to re-purchase them with real money on a regular basis. In: Lobby
Thread: Supply - in-game currency 6 Feb 2015, 17:57 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2015, 16:00 PMInverse There's a lot of references to microtransaction models done right in this thread, and people are using those examples as justification for this sort of system. The problem is, none of those successful microtransaction-based games use a system even remotely close to the durability system described here. Imagine if Dota 2 items disappeared after 50 games, or you had to pay to repair your CSGO knife after 50 kills. Those games wouldn't be nearly as popular as they are now if their items degraded over time. I agree with a good bit of your post, but the bolded and underlined bit is where we disconnect. You see, the thing is that virtually NOTHING is described here. You see the durability and repair words, and without any logical reason jump to the worst possible case. Once again, there is *NOT* enough information here to determine anything about how the system will be implemented. Relax. In: Lobby
Thread: Supply - in-game currency 5 Feb 2015, 23:52 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2015, 23:46 PMInverse That exact scenario has been addressed multiple times if you actually read the thread. The only way that scenario was addressed was by saying that it would become a demo for the store. (Which you apparently claim to be a bad thing) The way I see it, it's more stuff that you can pay for, or you can play and get it for free. I fail to see how getting free stuff (even for a limited time) can possibly be a bad thing. It frankly screams of entitlement and lack of respect for the basis of economics (making a profit).
